    Small bore double rifle.

    I've got a Fair Safari double rifle in 9.3x74 and extra 20 ga shotgun barrels,
    The heavy recoil, from the 9.3 in a 6lb double rifle isn't enjoyable, I can manage about 10-12 rounds before I start to fatigue and my shooting goes all to hell.
    Going to order a second set of barrels, can't decide on what cal, 7x57R or 7x65R, I've got both the 7x57 and 7x64 in bolt actions, solid reliable cartridges.
    I am leaning towards the 7x57, but the added performance of the 7x65 is tempting.
    Other choices are 8x57, 308, 270, 3006, 30R blaser,.243 and perhaps 6.5x57 if I ask. Not interested in any non rimmed case,
    So what would you choose, 7x57R, 7x 65R or other. I've got a week to decide,
